What is Strategic Planning?Strategic planning is a process of 1) identifying the proper function of a Christian congregation, 2) identifying strategies that help fulfill those functions, 3) prioritizing which functions are more important and then 4) setting a plan to work the strategies.There are two seri0us shortcomings in how congregations address strategic prioritizing. 1.) Confessional congregations wrongly think strategic prioritizing is a hindrance to the Gospel. 2.) Church Growth congregations pick the wrong mission and vision for the church which gives rise to priorities that do not support the Gospel.Click here to see how Wittenberg addresses these shortcomings.
